So the purpose of this space is for you to talk. You may speak anonymously, pseudonymously, or with your real name attached. You may not use someone else's name. (This rule is very serious. Don't underestimate the power of the system to track you down!) Please contribute as much or as little as you like. Here are some hints about contributions.

First, keep posts relatively short. People will read more if there is less to read.

Second, be kind, for you may well be wrong.

Third, remember rule number two.

Good luck.
